1-Jay Leno:

As an auto enthusiast, Jay Leno had always wanted to design his own turbine-engined car, and when he conceived the notion for a high-performance, yet environmentally friendly, vehicle the pen and napkin came out.  The EcoJet was initially a static exhibit, but one thing about Jay’s Garage is that everything runs. So Jim Hall, Bernard Juchli and the other wizards in the Burbank shop set about to turn the EcoJet from a barely rolling display into a complete running automobile.

Rémy Cointreau Global Travel Retail has launched their Rémy Martin Louis XIII Rare Cask Cognac which is being touted as “supremely rare”. For the first time in the history of Louis XIII, cellar master Pierrette Trichet has decided to present one cask as a special edition to be enjoyed by connoisseurs. The first edition comprises 786 numbered decanters each designated ‘43.8’ for the alcoholic strength that is the distinguishing mark of the cask. The refreshing new decanter also comes handcrafted in black crystal, which requires more than 50 operations by some 20 Baccarat artisans. The neck of the decanter is dressed in palladium, and the decanter comes encased in a coffret forged in metal. Mirrors and internal lighting magnify the luster of the black crystal, and the metal clasp at the neck of the decanter, designed to secure the black crystal stopper further, accentuates the luxury design.

superyacht

The 125m 7Cs super yacht was created in-house by Drive, a leading company in Marine and Automotive design. Drive’s designers were keen to challenge the traditional proportions of a superyacht and create a vessel that borrowed tried and tested ideas from the automotive industry. This concept yacht has a sunken pool, helipad, retractable cover, Jacuzzi and a boatload of luxury for the interiors. Drive envisages a unique hull with the reverse bow, and has tried to approximate a cruising speed of 20 + knots. This fit for a Russian oil magnate superyacht is concept only for now as the designers seek out an investor.
